Authorities are actually considering the possibility of charging three freshman boys with distribution of child pornography for passing around suggestive pictures of a freshman girl (which she may have taken herself). If convicted the boys face long prison sentences plus being registered sex offenders. Laws against child pornography are supposed to protect children, not victimize children. These are kids just goofing around. This is completely normal behavior for kids. On top of that a picture is just a picture and to pretend that it's a big deal is something a completely insane person would do. Kids nowadays are more likely to be victimized by law enforcement than by actual criminals.
Good to know that all the REAL crimes have been solved. Yep. Gurnee is blissfully free of murder, rape, arson, assault -- even all the old cold cases have been successfully solved. So now the police force has the spare time to bully children, destroy lives, and spend taxpayer money "solving" problems that could easily have been addressed without their involvement. Way to go, pigs.
